[QUOTE="dobyken, post: 1164285, member: 95522"] I ran MediaPortal for a while and strayed the path to XBMC. Although it's great for TV Series and Movies the TV service has a number of issues that don't seem to get fixed such as timeshifting which kills the tuners as soon as you get close to live tv. I basically have MP1 setup on a dual boot system with 7 running Kodi and 10 running MP1. All 700 movies and 200 or so TV series have been imported but I still need to get all the watched statuses set to where they are in Kodi. I've wanted a HD PVR for a few years but recently got an Ebay bargain for $20 and couldn't resist and hooked it up to a DirecTV genie which is why I'm back here. There a couple of questions I have that aren't clearly answered in any of the wiki guides which help but are plagued with obsolete information. I have 4 systems in my house and don't really care if they all use the same thumbs but I do want the watched status synced on all the computers. What's the best way to accomplish that in MP1 and is it a built in feature of MP2? Another question is can multiple PC's share a single tuner at the same time (Multicast) like the HD PVR? I read where you can dual stream a DB2 card but it's not clear about a single stream tuner. I have a HDHomerun tuner for OTA but only the one HD PVR for Directv. It's just Grandma and me in the house but yesterday she wanted to watch Fox News in the kitchen on Kodi while I was watching it in the bedroom in MP1. I'm unsure at this point whether I'll use MP1 or MP2 but is there any kind of upgrade utilities such as importing the MPTVSeries or MyMovies data? I read where MP1 and MP2 use the same TV Service but then again not really the same and read posts that say you can run both on the same machine and others saying you have to disable the MP1 server to use the MP2 server. And...lastly...MP2 has been released for quite a while. Where are all the plugins? Is it that much harder to update the code for MP2? [/QUOTE]
